I would like to know what I saw on Sat night Feb 1. It was the longest train I have seen in recent months. It had priority since another north bound had to pull over and let this this train pass Any ideas what this train was and wwhere he was going?

Congrats - You probably saw a "double" and there was no room to get it out of the way on single track railroad. Some of the "PSR Effect" in play.

Mudchicken Nothing is worth taking the risk of losing a life over. Come home tonight in the same condition that you left home this morning in. Safety begins with ME.... cinscocom-west
